I'm not sure it'll run on the Pyra's A15 CPUs; the A53 can run Arm A64 code, while the A15 is limited to A32 code. Plus apparently it took a few guys some weeks to get all of the additional drivers needed for the rPi to work. Nikolaus and others are still getting drivers for all of the Pyra's features working and submitted to upstream (although these guys don't have any upstream to push to, so they save that time at least). Plus the Pyra's got half of the cores the rPi3 has, even though they can be clocked slightly faster, and apparently it's slow enough on an rPi.

If I remember correctly, Windows ARM has an emulation layer for x86 apps. The reports I've seen were not very positive, it's not 100% compatible and on a fairly recent Qualcomm chipset it was about half the speed of the slowest x86 chip you can find. But with a bit more work it could become a competitor to box86wine

I like the current (old) behavior of Linux.
Usually, when programming, or generally typing, when Linux freezes up, I like to take a photo of what I was typing. The file will be there after reboot, without the latest modifications, which I can then type-over from the photo. In Windows, you have to reboot fast, and redo by memory.

Otoh, Linux freezes up some times, and you are not certain if the kernel hangs, or if a user-space software is hogging everything. In those cases, CTR+ALT+F1 moves you to the root console, where you can log in to take a peek, and kill the offending software... or not, and then you know the kernel is fubar.

Linux has clamav as the only open source virus scanner out there (you can run binary drops from other providers too, if you want to risk that), and clamav will even find lots of windows viruses it scans, and in testing it's proved to be better at that than a number of paid for windows virus scanners.
